Storm damage roof reports around Hazlemere
With Hughenden Manor about 2.1 miles west, Hazlemere sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
Landlords with a home close to High Wycombe station may find that a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Holy Trinity Church, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

About our storm damage roof report in Hazlemere
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. Our report records both: fresh breaks and recently moved slates or tiles, and older problems such as corroded nails or worn mortar. We describe what we see, whichever way it points. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. We survey flashings, flat roofs and gutters and fascias, and people most frequently book us about gaps where slates or tiles have gone and lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles.
Houses in smaller places like Hazlemere can stand more in the open, where driving rain gets into any gap at a ridge, verge or flashing. A leak that only appears in certain weather often points to an exposed detail. Let us know when it happens when you contact us. Gutters and downpipes on the exposed side are worth a look as well.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Hazlemere
Do you cover smaller places like Hazlemere?
Yes, Hazlemere is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Is Hazlemere in the area you cover?
Yes. We work right across London and the South East, and Hazlemere is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the property.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Hazlemere?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
We can’t say whether a claim will be paid. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed.
The survey, step by step
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey usually takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. A visit to a smaller place like Hazlemere is no different on the day: we look from ground level, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it’s safe. It’s useful to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before we arrive
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Point out any leaks or damp patches

What happens if roof problems are left?
A clear, independent record helps you explain the damage to your insurer. It records the damage and what seems to have caused it, so you are not relying only on your own photos. Homes in smaller places like Hazlemere can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Each storm lifts it a little further.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, from £400 including VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Why book with us
- 5,000+ surveys completed
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Satisfaction rate of 98%
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help

What we can’t see
We only report what can safely be seen on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- Acting for you with the insurer
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer. What our survey covers.
Roof types and parts we check
- Chimney stacks
- Slate and tile slopes
- Ridges and hips
- Flashings
- Gutters and fascias
- Flat roofs
Common roof problems in Hazlemere
Storms don’t only affect pitched roofs. Coverings can tear or peel back at the edges, and water can pond where outlets are blocked. Our report covers flat and pitched roofs.
People usually book a survey after spotting one of these:
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Damaged flat roof membrane
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Sir William Ramsay School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
Questions to ask before you book
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Whether the price includes VAT
- When you will get the report
- Are they insured for the work?

What we look for on each type of roof
